Likelihood to Recommend BombBomb is great for direct, individually-sent emails where you want to custom the email, particularly with a video message. BombBomb is not the best mass email tool that I have seen on the market. In my experience, they penalize you when people unsubscribe, even if they NEED to be receiving your emails. We have people who unsubscribe and then miss info they need for work. That's not our fault. But, in our experience, BombBomb displays that we are not a good company to mass email because of it.
Read full review Mailtrack is great for tracking emails if you do not want to pay for larger more complicated tools that do the same thing. If you already love your system but just want to add some convenient read tracking, that's exactly what this is for. If you have a system that doesn't work well, I would take the time to evaluate alternatives that also include read tracking (Salesforce for example). This also applies if you're trying to use this for large outbound sales emails - there are a lot of applications that have email tracking built in (Outreach.io is a great example) so it may just be worth switching your whole system.
Read full review Pros I like BombBomb's animated GIF preview of our video content. I think it's definitely more attention-grabbing than traditional email. BombBomb's automation tools are simple and easy to use. You can program a series of emails to go out X number days following the previous one and at a certain point in time. BombBomb's email builder is also pretty easy to use, once you get the hang of it. (If you've used other email tools, Constant Contact, MailChimp, etc. --- this one should be a snap.) Read full review Immediately you will be notified once any user accesses the email. There is no delay. We have crossed checked and it works awesome. The Mailtrack extension is easy to use. Setting up an account and getting started is smooth and fast. Free version includes unlimited email tracking, this is fab. Read full review Cons We've found it's better with existing relationships than as an outbound campaign. Deliverability - We serve markets that might be a little more strict with regards to deliverability. Chrome extension - it was awful and took up so much of the inbox that we've uninstalled it completely. Read full review Some of the settings can be confusing at first. Some alerts are on by default and can be annoying at times. Good to know if the email was deleted. It would be great to know how much time recipients spent on each email. Read full review Usability As said before, the usability is very straightforward and the customization options are good enough to get the job done. There is a mobile app to help with real-time engagement so that is useful too. They offer plenty of training and best practices to make sure you are getting the most out of BombBomb.
Read full review I would rate Mailtrack's overall usability as a ten out of ten. The reasons for this are actually quite simple. For now, only I have been using Mailtrack. However, looking at the rather easy to use characteristics Mailtrack has to offer, I would not hesitate to recommend it to the rest of my colleagues.
Read full review Performance Overall it's very easy to use and the video emails stand out. Everything loads quickly and they make it easy to set up. It features CRM-like functionality to view opens, clicks, time watched, etc., but it doesn't port that info over to your existing CRM which is where some of the friction occurs. Still, it's amazing for what it does. I recommend giving it a try for our outreach.
Read full review Support Rating A few times over the years I have asked for features to be added to BombBomb and I am amazed at how fast they can implement.
Zapier integration is a perfect example. They implemented the connection to
Zapier within 30 days of my feature request. It took a much larger company, Keller Williams Realty over 10 years to implement the same request.
Read full review I didn't really need to use the customer support but the fact that they proactively make the installation process so easy by providing step by step instructions with videos and everything is kind of pro-active customer support that is needed. Good for them because at the end of the day, it's everyone's dream to use a product that they don't need support for.
Read full review Alternatives Considered I believe my customer service director looked into a couple of other companies before deciding on BombBomb and I know the Outlook integration was a big deal. I think they really liked how easy the program is to use too.
Read full review There's a free tier. Obviously, there are other things to love, like notifications about your email being read, the fact that if an email hasn't been responded to in some time it gets bumped up. The fact that if other people have Mailtrack you will actually get notified who read your email. But the fact that there is a free tier is HUGE.
Read full review Return on Investment Overall, I think BombBomb has given us a positive ROI on our email marketing efforts. I don't have numbers to support that claim, but it's more affordable and better positioned for what we needed to do than many other tools out in the marketplace. If you need to differentiate your email, the video component is a great way to go. Read full review I'm currently using the free version so my investment was time spent downloading the browser extension. I would say it's worth the investment because I can make more value through each email by finding the right time to send replies or know when is the exact time I should follow up. Knowing when an email is read multiple times helps me know the importance of the content in my email. The paid version allows Mailtrack to tell you which recipient read the email if there was more than 1. Read full review ScreenShots
